Postmaster General Louis DeJoy covered his ears when faced with criticism from Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) over his handling of the U.S. Postal Service, a move the Republican mocked and emphasized after it happened.

McCormick cited how he himself had experienced difficulty in his letters getting delivered under DeJoy’s watch and detailed how businesses are now choosing not to use USPS.
